I'm trying to backup a directory on a remote XP(SP2) workstation over a VPN connection. I'm using Backup Exec 9.1 (SP4) on a Windows 2003 SBS box.
I have created a User Defined Selection and I can happily browse all of the files within the target directory I want to back up. However, when the job is run I get the error "The job failed with the following error: Unable to attach to one of the drives".
Can any kind sould point me in the right direction.
1. The Remote Agent is installed and appears to be working OK on the remote workstation. 2. I have "Enabled media server TCP dynamic port range" as described in http://support.veritas.com/docs/258334.
Is the firewall turned on on the XP box. If so there are technotes on how to exclude the ports backup exec use. Try enable restrict anonymouse support and force guest. These are all technotes
Please refer the following technote to further troubleshoot this issue:
